Contrast-enhanced ultrasound analysis of tissue perfusion in tumor-bearing mice following treatment with endostatin combined with radiotherapy.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to observe the effects of Endostar (recombinant human endostatin) and radiotherapy, singly or in combination, on blood flow in mouse tumour tissue using ultrasound imaging. The ultrasound contrast agent, SonoVue, was used for the contrast-enhanced ultrasound examinations. SonoLiver software was used to analyse dynamic vascular patterns (DVPs) in the contrast process. Blood perfusion data were collected and statistical analysis was performed for data processing. Results were presented as DVP curves and quantitative parameters. Quantitative parameters showed statistically significant (P<0.05) differences in peak strength, rise time, time to peak and mean transit time among the various treatment groups. Changes in tumour blood perfusion were quantified by the assessment of contrast-enhanced ultrasound parameters. The results indirectly reflected the degree of change in angiogenesis in the tumour following experimental intervention. Ultrasound contrast imaging effectively showed the extent of the changes in vascularity and flow state. Therefore, contrast-enhanced ultrasound is suitable for use as an indicator of blood flow changes in an experimental model.
